Q

What can you use the corneal light reflex for>

A

to determine if the eye is deviated in a particular direction based on where the light reflex shows up

Q

How can you determine if someone has a tropia?

A

use cover-uncover test and if eye deviates with covering then you have a tropia

Q

How can you tell if someone has phoria?

A

use the cross cover test. You do the cover uncover test and nothing happens but when you cover one eye and then cross horizontally to the other eye, the eye deviates which lets you know that the deviation is there only SOME of the time, thus it is a phoria.i.e when you break fusioN!

16
Q

What is this:
angle of devation remains constant regardless of direction of gaze, range of motion of eyes is full, wihout limitations or restrictions.
When is this most commonly seen?

A

concomitant deviation

in childhood onset strabismus

Q

What is this:
Angle of strabismus varies with gaze diraction; limitation of ocular movements. Patient may exhibit abnormal head posture to maintain binocularity.
Is this congenital or acquired?

may be congenital or acquired

Q

How do you measure the angle of deviation?

A

with prisms

21
Q

What does the motility evaluation test?

A

ductions and versions

22
Q

What does sensory testing check out?

A

assess binocularity

23
Q

What are the different kinds of comitant strabismus (4)?

A

pseudoesotropia
congenital esotropia
accomodative esotropia
exotropia

24
Q

What is this:

wide flat nasal bridge and epicanthal folds, normal alignment by light reflex and cover tests.

A

pseudoestropia

common in infants

25
Q

What is this:
large angle deviation, cross fixation, limitation of abduction may be confused with congenital 6th nerve palsy, usually requires surgical treatment

A

congenital esotropia

26
Q

What is this:
over-convergence related to accomodation in hyperopia, usual age of onset 2-3 years, usually treated with glasses, bifocals sometimes necessary

A

accomodative esotropia

27
Q

What is this:
Usually intermittent in childhood; normal binocular function when eyes straight; eyes deviate with fatigue or inattention

A

exotropia

28
Q

What are the three developmental incomitant stabismus?

A

Duanes’ retraction syndrome
Mobius Syndrome
Brown’s Syndrome

29
Q

What is this:
absence of 6th nerve nucleus resulting in deficient abduction, miswiring of third nerve result in cocontraction of medial rectus and lateral rectus with globe retraction on adduction.

A

Duane’s Retraction Syndrome

30
Q

What is mobius syndrome?

A

congenital bilateral 6th and 7th nerve palsies

31
Q

What is brown’s syndrome?

A

abnormality of trochlear pulley, congenital or acquired, deficit of elevation of eye in adduction

32
Q

What are the three types of restrictive strabismus?

A

congenital fibrosis syndrome
grave’s disease
orbital fractures

33
Q

What can cause this:

autosomal dominant, inelastic muscles and ptosis, positive forced ductions.

A

congenital fibrosis syndrome

34
Q

What can cause this:
lymphocytic infiltration and secondary fibrosis of extraocular muscles in thyroid disease, enlargement of muscles may cause compression of optic nerves and vision loss, IR and MR most commonly affected

A

graves’ disease

35
Q

What can orbital fractures cause?

A

scarring/entrapment of orbital tissue/extraocular muscles

36
Q

What are the five ways you can get neurologic strabismus?

A
cranial nerve palsies
third nerve palsy
fourth nerve palsy
sixth nerve palsy
myasthenia gravis
37
Q

What will cause cranial nerve palsies?

A

microvascular problems, tumor, trauma, aneurysm.

38
Q

What happens if you have third nerve palsy?

A
your eye is down and out 
Ptosis
pupillary involvement (dilation)
39
Q

What happens if you have fourth nerve palsy?

A

oblique diplopia and torsion, bilateral often secondary to trauma (nasal upshoot)

40
Q

What happens if you have 6th nerve palsy?

A

abduction deficit, face turn to affected side (one eye looks cross eyed)

41
Q

WHat happens with myasthenia gravis?
Why?
What happens when the patient gets tired?

A

variable strabismus and ptosis
because of acetycholine antibodies that cause muscle weakness
it gets worse

42
Q

How do you test for myasthenia gravis?

A

tensilon test

43
Q

What are the three types of strabismus surgery?

A

recession
resection
transposition

44
Q

What surgery will weaken the effect of the muscle operated on?

A

recession

45
Q

What surgery will enhance the effect of the muscle operated on?

A

resection

46
Q

What surgery will shift force vectors of muscle?

A

transposition

47
Q

What is binocular vision?

A

fusion of images from both eyes

48
Q

What is sterposis?

A

high grade of fusion that gives depth
